BLESSED FROM AVOIDING FALSE TEACHINGS

My Dear Precious Child, In Peter's second letter to the Gentile and Jewish believers in Christ Jesus, he warned again, as he did in his first letter, about false teachers and their errors. He reminded them that I had spoken corrective words through a mere beast at one time to a man who was seeking dishonest gain. (Numbers 22:28) Writing collectively about false teachers, he wrote that they are waterless springs, mere mists whipped up by a gale of demons and that the darkest gloom has been reserved for them. He wrote that they spoke blasting words with passion while having lustful ways in their own flesh, ministering to the people who have just become free of a life of errors. He wrote that they promise freedom yet they are slaves of corruption. He clarified that by saying that any person is a slave of anything which has overcome him or her. He further clarified his truth by writing that a person who has left the passions of the world by accepting Christ Jesus as his or her Savior but then is caught up and overcome by pollution once more, that their last condition is worse than the first one. He wrote that it would be better for that person to never have experienced the road to holiness than to have turned their backs on the holiness of My words once they had experienced it. He even compared it to a dog who has returned to eat his own vomit or a pig who bathes in its own filth by wallowing in polluted mud. (II Peter 2:17-22) Peter was consumed with the teaching of a second coming of Christ and a judgment which was to follow, even though Christ had come in the person of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, as was experienced by Peter and over 3,000 people when My Holy Spirit came to live inside of people. My kingdom of God came into the earth to live inside of people, as taught by Jesus Christ to the disciples to pray, (Matthew 6:10) and My kingdom of God also surrounded the people in the spiritual dimension, giving them the power of My Holy Spirit over evil and the power of My Holy Spirit to judge the demons from hell who had cursed the world that I had created to be a replica in the earth of My heaven. Those of My children have My authority over all evil, doing the "greater things" about which Jesus spoke and was prophesied by John, the Divine. (John 14:12; Matthew 13:36-42; Hebrews 12:1 and 22 - 29.) Also, Peter recognized some things had been fulfilled in the earth relating to what was prophesied as the "last days" and Christ had not come again and people were asking where was the second coming of Christ? The believers from that generation had already died and been laid to rest. He surmised that in the beginning of the earth that it was taken out of the waters and then by waters it was destroyed, being overwhelmed by the deluge when Noah and his family was saved. Peter was convinced that the earth would be destroyed by fire on a day that would come like a thief in the night. He also surmised that a day to Me is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day so that Christ's coming was not like Jesus promised when Jesus said that there were some people alive when He was crucified who would see His coming again. Many events happened at the crucifixion of Christ that fulfilled the events related to his second coming, which many people saw as being His resurrection from the dead and then his coming again in the person of the Holy Spirit to live inside of people with the anointing of My Holy Spirit and My authority to execute judgment upon the demons of the earth by casting them into the lake of fire that I created before the foundation of the earth for their judgment. Many people questioned Peter's expectations of the earth being destroyed by My judgment of fire because of Jesus Christ saying that He came into the world to save it by establishing a new covenant with people, saying that He had not come to destroy the world. (John 3:16-17) Peter encouraged the believers to wait for Christ to come back to earth again to destroy it, and to create a new heaven and a new earth. Peter even mentioned Paul's writings relating to this subject of the second coming of Christ. Even though he called Paul a beloved brother in Christ, he wrote in this second letter that Paul had written in his special wisdom about this matter as he did in all of his letters. Peter wrote that there were certain passages written by Paul that were difficult to understand and so the ignorant and unstable people had distorted them to their own ruin. Peter encouraged the readers of His letter to continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ while waiting for Christ to come back to earth so that He wouldn't find them lacking in knowledge and virtue. There was very little truth in Peter's letters relating to the power of My Holy Spirit residing inside of My born again and Holy Spirit baptized children and their power over evil demons, as was taught by Christ Jesus, taught by Paul and recorded by John before Christ was crucified. (John 14, 15, 16 and 17) Earlier Paul had criticized Peter for teaching that born again Gentiles should be circumcised and Paul referred to Peter as being in error by bringing Gentiles under Jewish law found in the old covenant. So it appears that there continued to be different beliefs between Peter and Paul relating to doctrinal matters. However, there was deep respect from each apostle for the ministry of the other one. That attitude was necessary for their ministries to continue in peace. Your Father of the Spirit of Truth
